How we plan
What We Provide in Manchester
Every property is different: this is the planning sequence we work through, whatever the size of the system, to cover what matters at your property.
Property and premises
Understanding your building, layout and what you're looking to cover.
Areas requiring coverage
Identifying the entrances, boundaries or areas that matter most to you.
Camera positions
Planning where cameras are mounted for useful coverage, not just placement for its own sake.
Recording and network requirements
Deciding how footage is recorded and stored, and what cabling or network setup that needs.
Viewing and access requirements
Confirming who needs to view footage, and how.
Installation plan
Bringing this together into a plan that's confirmed with you before installation begins.
Options
System Options and Recommended Solutions
Not every property needs the same setup: the right system depends on what you're covering and how footage will be used.
How many cameras you need, and where, follows from what you want to see: entrances, boundaries or specific areas.
How footage is recorded and stored, and for how long, is agreed when the system is designed.
Who needs to view footage, and how, is confirmed before installation begins.
Property types
Relevant Property and Business Types
